Chapter 71: Naruto, Peak Human, Ch 36.1
From the man's words, Li Zhenwu and the others immediately understood what they were escorting: a significant item.
It was the emblem of the throne of the Land of Bean Jam!
He was the heir to the throne of the Land of Bean Jam, and with just this emblem, he could return to his country and inherit the throne.
"Such an important item, why was it only issued as a C-level mission?" Li Zhenwu interjected.
The man glanced at Li Zhenwu, somewhat surprised that the youngest ninja was the one speaking up in this situation.
However, he forced a smile and replied, "That's what I was about to explain..."
According to what the man said, apart from him as the heir, there was another person in their country who was also qualified to inherit the throne, but the previous daimyo had intended to pass the throne to him.
The other heir was unwilling to accept this and wanted to seize the throne for himself.
Originally, their country was just a small nation with very few ninjas.
However, the ambitious heir sought to rally a large number of wandering ninjas by promising to give half the country away once he ascended to power.
This situation is what caused various complications during their mission.
At first, based on the size and strength of their nation, even an emblem of the throne would only count as a C-level mission.
But because that heir later plotted a scheme, the task became much more troublesome.
With a wry smile, the man said, "Before the mission was issued, I thought it was simply about escorting the heirloom back to the Land of Bean Jam, but the other heir took action afterward, which led to the current complications."
"But don't worry. Once the mission is complete and I return to the Land of Bean Jam, I will definitely provide a proper explanation to Konoha and make adequate compensations."
"I think we should set out as soon as possible; we don't know what other tactics the other heir may use," the man urged.
"I see," Guy Sensei said, though he still felt some dissatisfaction with this explanation but still he accepted it enough to agree.
